Free T4 Level

Free T4 is the main hormone the thyroid secretes, and reading it alongside TSH is what actually tells you about thyroid function — TSH is the pituitary’s signal to the thyroid, free T4 is what the thyroid actually produced.

What it means

Within the normal range (0.8–1.8).

Formula

Result = band(Free T4 (ng/dL))

Frequently asked questions

QHow is Free T4 Level calculated?

Result = band(Free T4 (ng/dL)) — Free T4 is the main hormone the thyroid secretes, and reading it alongside TSH is what actually tells you about thyroid function — TSH is the pituitary’s signal to the thyroid, free T4 is what the thyroid actually produced.

QCan you walk through an example?

With Free T4 (ng/dL) 1ng/dL, the answer is Result 1.

QWhat do I need to enter?

Enter Free T4 (ng/dL). The result recalculates as you type, and an empty box counts as zero.

QHow much does the answer move if I change a number?

Changing only Free T4 (ng/dL) (ng/dL) moves the answer to Free T4 (ng/dL) (ng/dL) 0.5 → Result 0 and Free T4 (ng/dL) (ng/dL) 2 → Result 2. The table below lays out five steps.

QHow are the numbers rounded?

Money is shown to the nearest whole unit, percentages to one decimal place and everything else to two. What you see is rounded; the calculation itself carries the unrounded value forward.

QAnything to watch out for?

This is a reading aid, not a diagnosis, and it must be interpreted together with the TSH value.
